Marie from Roxette had the GREATEST voice ever. When she was young she could just sing about anything. They said she had the strength in her voice to strip paint off walls, and at the same time the tenderness to seduce a kitten. I recommend "Almost Unreal, Fading Like A Flower, What's She Like, Spending My Time, The Rain, Run To You, Sleeping In My Car, Anyone, Milk And Toast And Honey, No One Makes It On Her Own, Never Is A Long Time, Come Back Before You Leave, Do You Get Excited?...." There are so much more....
Oh, Roxette are marvellous. Marie really was a fighter. She fought brain cancer for 17 years and toured the world thrice while she could barely walk on the stage. In 2016 she gave up touring and died of brain cancer consequences in 2019
Hi Sue, I love the straightforward pop style songs of Rosette. Marie had the perfect voice for the material they recorded. Another who left us far too early.
Roxette actually used strings on a number of their later tracks/albums. The Single Crash Boom Bang comes to mind which is a really beautiful video & ballad
Hi Lovely Sue. Now it`s high time to introduce Chelsea to Super Tommy!!🎸🎹 And what could be better then the stunning cover of "She`s Gone" By Steelheart !!!🤘 Cheers from Sweden🥂🍻
She still had a lot to give towards the end. "It Just Happens" is one of their latest songs, it's different and more modern, but beautiful in its own right. Maybe give that one a try too. Also using their official videos isn't a nono, they are very kind with reaction channels.
I love Roxette! They were huge here in sweden and they acted as soundtrack to my youth and moments of broken hearts Marie had an outstanding voice and stagepresent, a bit like Annie lennox. Actually I sometimes think tjat Eurytmics and Roxette is a bit similar.. Here are a some songs you should listen to.. Spending my Time Fading like a flower Do you get Exited I wish I coold fly Milk and toast and honey
Hi Jocke, I can see how much this band means to you. There is such a connection to bands that we were so connected to from when we were younger. They were an amazing band and I will do more of them for you my friend 🥰💙
@Tifosos711 ; funny you use the phrase Soundtrack of your Youth As opposed to Soundtrack of our Lives which is the name of a really great Swedish rock band Their Album : Behind the Music is such a great Album Best Rolling Stones album by someone else ! Sue , you should check out the song Sister Surround Sweden is so much more than ABBA
Nice song, Sue. That director's belief that the castle ruins were created for a music video should astound me. However, with the current Unreality unleashed upon culture today, this is actually tame. Enjoyed this blast from the past. Keep it up.
Hey Willieboy, you bet I will keep 'em coming. You are so right about. Society has created so many fake things now that it is hard to figure out what is real and not now even more with the advent of AI 😯
Haha, wonderful! How American to believe that old ruins are put there just as a set for a video! 😂 I get Spinal Tap vibes! 😆 Borgholm castle is beautiful and has seen many artists in concert. A popular site in the summer. Marie Fredriksson is worth checking out as a solo artist as well, she was amazing! So strong and so fragile at the same time - what a voice! ❤
Great singer Yes it is funny I know with MTV video became super important but what I take from this Synthesizer because cant afford Strings but Build a Prop Castle for a video Americans sometimes have a hard time when the are in Europe to. Get their head around structure that can date back over 1000 years
Sweden's 2nd best musical act IMHO, behind the incomparable ABBA .. Marie Fredriksson had a wonderful voice with a huge range, and Per Gessle was a brilliant songwriter, so they made a great team .. This is one of their best songs, but "Fading Like A Flower" is my favourite .. "Dressed For Success", "It Must have Been Love", "Dangerous", and "The Big L" are other faves.
Hi Wayne, yes such a great duo and I agree on your assessment that they are right behind Abba. They had so many great songs. I will do more of their stuff, including your favourite 🥰💜
@@BadMoonandStars Relax .. I wasn't implying that he had lost his skills or was no longer with us .. I was just referring to that time in the past when he and Marie were working together.
Our Swedish neighbors have always delivered the goods, but since I'm Norwegian I have to ask if we get more reactions to a-ha? I know you have several suggestions for songs, and still live in hope. 🥰

That is awesome, Martin. That description is a testament to how strong her voice is. There will definitely be more Roxette for you 🤩💜

Wow, she was a fighter. I just can't imagine going on stage while that sick. She was very strong and brave. Thank you, Theancikomanci 💚

I agree, Dave. What a shame she left us. Marie was amazing and Roxette had some fantastic songs 💙
It`s one of 4, no:1s they`ve had on the Billboard 100.

Thank you Lauri. I will check it out. I don't know that one. I appreciate you watching 🤗

Haha hello my friend. I am sure we will get Chels listening to Tommy at some point, Mats. We can't deprive her of that 🤩💙
@@playitagainsue 😃😉👍
Classic Roxette track.

If you want to hear real strings on a Roxette track, I highly recommend Anyone. It's a beautiful song.
Thank you Moongirl. I will give it a listen 🤩

Um, where were the ruins in this video? 🙂
@@daw7563 In Borgholm, Öland on the Swedish east coast.
@@GuinevereKnight yes I know, but was it mentioned in this video? If so I missed it. In response to your "How american" comment. 🙂
@@daw7563 Yes, that's why I commented about it 😉
@daw7563 hey Daw, as I mentioned, we couldn't show the video...you will have to watch it on your own
Great singer
Yes it is funny
I know with MTV video became super important but what I take from this
Synthesizer because cant afford Strings but Build a Prop Castle for a video

Hey Jesse, yes it is hard to understand thousand year old castles when your country is only a couple if hundred years old 🥰

Hey Ahkkariq, so great to hear from you. Yes I have A-Ha slated in about a week so stay tuned 🥰
@@playitagainsue Looking forwards to it!
GOOD CHOICE OF SONG AND TEE-SHIRT IT WAS 1988
Thanks Michael. It is a great song 😊🧡
